Preventative care is as important for pets as it is for humans. Simple measures done on a regular basis can prevent many health problems and avoid costly treatments. At Pine Castle Animal Clinic in Orlando, we offer a range of preventative care measures to help keep pets healthy and thriving.
Parasite Prevention
An infestation of fleas can cause severe discomfort to your pet and lead to your whole home being infested. Flea control products prevent this problem. Ticks picked up from the outdoors can carry diseases that make pets very sick. Your vet can advise you on the best flea and tick control products for your pet's needs. The veterinarian can also perform heartworm testing and prevention, to prevent pets from developing this serious disease.
Dental Care
Veterinary dental care ensures that pets can feed normally to get their nutrition and also helps to remove bacteria that can affect the animal’s general health. Bacteria found in the mouth can migrate to organs in the body and set up the conditions for disease. Good oral health contributes to good overall health in pets.
Weight Management
Pets can have weight problems just like people, and those excess pounds can contribute to many of the same health problems in pets that people experience. Diabetes, heart disease, and joint problems are more common in overweight pets. Your vet can advise you on the best ways to help your pet lose weight and be healthier.
Spay and Neuter Surgeries
Spaying and neutering are important measures to prevent the birth of unwanted litters and to avoid reproductive cancers that can occur. Your vet will discuss these surgeries with you as part of the preventative care for your pet.
Testing for Potential Health Problems
The vet may recommend diagnostic tests to detect hidden health problems that can be treated most effectively in the early stages. Blood tests, urinalysis, fecal testing, and tissue analysis are used to detect these problems.
